Nuclear Weapons Opponents

August 1, 1985

TORONTO — Pacific Interfaith, a coalition of church groups in Vancouver, B.C., plans to take the government to court. The object: To keep U.S. nuclear weapons out. Attorney Bruce Torrie says the organization will argue that the weapons are illegal in Canada and the government will be violating the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Pacific Interfaith objects to agreements with the United States allowing American B-52 bombers in the country in times of crisis and allow nuclear depth charges to be stored at a base in Canada.
